You're going to want a custom grind cam, and for 500rwhp you're going to be winding high in the RPM range no doubt.

You can NOT use a stock PCM. It WILL need a tune to accommodate all of that. Injector size will probably be in the 50# area if you're not using any power adders, that is, if it is natually aspirated (not turbo, supercharger, or NOS).

I don't think he will need that high of Injectors..Just comparing this for a sec..I have 34lb's on my current setup..I know it's LSX, but the Heads I have probably flow close to if not a little more than them AFR's he has up there..and I have big Cam, and the Injectors run at 90% Duty Cycle at WOT.

No doubt it will be a custom Cam and a good Tune..

What he said ^ I would think #40s should work fine.

500rwhp is possible with a stock pcm, been done through an 8" converter and auto tranny no less.

YOU are not going to reach it though.

you will need a good custom cam, atleast 1 7/8 long tubes, and a good tune. im lookin at building a 383 thats going to put out around 500rwhp. thats also a 6 speed though, and for the injectors just go with some 42s that should be more than enough and will give you room to play later on. talk to SSTROKERACE on the forum, he can hook you up with the right cam for that motor.

I'm running 42's and putting down 520rwhp N/A with a custom grind from Cam Motions designed by Alan Futral, give him a call, don't go off the shelf for your 396.

Yes, Therefore there is no opportunity to return problem details.
So help to pick up accessories correctly. Where it is better to order stroker kit.
